As part of this announcement, it is also joining hands with JPIN, which runs a Media & Entertainment Tech Venture Capital Fund and an investment platform in London, UK and is building the largest Euro-Asia investment and growth corridor with Venture Catalysts to help startups grow and scale internationally.

Mehub is a start-up incubation outfit which will identify and reach out to start ups operating in the space of technology driven Media & Entertainment & Edutech and offer them an environment conducive to growth comprising infrastructure, professional consulting, finance and business opportunities aligned to guaranteed expansion. Talking about the inception, Nidhish Mehrotra, Co-Founder, Mehub said, ''Media & Entertainment industry in around Rs 95 thousand crore & with so many platforms entering into the Indian market like Netflix, Amazon, Jio, Hotstar etc, there will be a level playing field for content creators, producers, & technology driven companies like VFX, Virtual Reality etc.

''We are poised to witness a content boom, yet there are no players in the market which is ready to cater to this unprecedented surge of demand. We have done a prolonged market research to understand this need gap hence Mehub is born. The founders come from a diverse background and will be further padded up by an advisory board of stalwarts, so we are well placed to lead the identified start ups to success''. (UNI)
